Ozz, jump in here!!! It is my understanding is with a 50A service, you have 1 20 amp leg and 1 30 amp leg. If you connect to one of the legs and a ground or common you get 110V. If you connect to both legs and a ground or common you get 220V. If this is not the case, I do not know how my 220V dryer is working on a 50 amp service. Anyway, that was the way my old Papa explained it to me. The converter is probably behind the panels in the water closet.
